Stunt drivers and spectators flooded Chicago streets for a second straight weekend night, disturbing residents, attacking cops and damaging police cars during some of the unsanctioned events that allegedly drew participants from across the country. Chicago police officials couldn’t immediately provide details about the latest round of so-called street takeovers early Sunday. But in a statement, the department said some officers “were assaulted with bricks and bottles.” Six police cars were also damaged at one event at the intersection of Cermak Road and Lumber Street on the Lower West Side,

This is insane. I have lived in the area all of my life. I have never seen anything like this. My brother was back in town last weekend after not being home for 15 years. He had a friend with him and planned on taking him to the city to show him around. We all told him not to go. I was afraid that he'd go with the idea that it couldn't be as bad as we said and naively think he could walk around certain areas as safely as he could even a few years ago. He be the first guy sucker punched. Chicago is such a beautiful city. People were always so friendly and helpful. As kids we would take the train downtown and walk to the museums. Our parents didn't worry because we were in good safe areas. Now, the feral animals have taken over. Nowhere is safe. What a tragedy.

Chicago mayor is incapable of handling this.... but she IS black, female, and lesbian. That's all she's got. No qualifications whatsoever. This is what you get when you elect someone solely on diversity. Chaos.

It's time to bring in the National Guard, or better yet, regular US Army troops, to occupy cities like Chicago and Portland (Oregon). City and state officials seem to be unable or unwilling to solve the problems there.

Former lawyer to President Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, said Monday on SiriusXM’s “Mornings With Zerlina” that Trump will not run for a second term because “he does not want to go up against” Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). Cohen said, “I do not believe Trump is going to run. First of all, he knows that he can’t win the general election statistically, and his fragile ego will not allow him to be a two-time loser. I just want to be very clear on that.” He continued, “Second. I believe that if, in fact, that he runs, he is not just going to get the nomination by the Republican party, by the RNC.

In a surreal “when pigs fly” moment, former FBI agent Peter Strzok claimed the bureau had “no choice” but to “reluctantly” investigate former President Trump is an online brouhaha that broke out after he responded to the reporting of New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman. Haberman is not a conservative. The difference here is that she’s actually doing real reporting on what is going on and not selectively telling Americans what the left wants them to hear. “The unsealed portions of the Trump search warrant affidavit underscored the degree to which Trump’s lawyers have been unable to fend off so far the ongoing effort by the DOJ to press ahead

Senate Republicans Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have written a letter to Facebook demanding they hand over any communications they had with the FBI and the DOJ regarding Hunter Biden's laptop and business dealings. The letter, addressed to Mark Zuckerberg, also requests names of FBI and DOJ officials who told the social media behemoth that a document dump ahead of the 2020 election was 'Russian disinformation.' That warning allegedly pushed Facebook to censor and shut down reports regarding the laptop in the New York Post.

During emotional phone calls, Siam Pasarly tries to explain to his daughter why he can’t just buy her a plane ticket to reunite their Afghan family. A year ago, Pasarly fled his homeland, fearing he might be killed as the Taliban seized power. Pasarly, 32, had worked with the U.S.-allied government in Afghanistan before it was ousted, and some of his friends were killed. His wife and their children remain in hiding. But he has since settled into a studio apartment in Chicago. Still, his immigration status remains murky. He was temporarily allowed into the United States, given humanitarian parole

Bill Clinton was left red in the face as he enjoyed a cozy chat with sex therapist Dr Ruth Westheimer as they watched Serena Williams' tennis match on Monday night. The pair could be seen animatedly chatting away with one another and looked to be in deep conversation. At one stage, the 94-year-old Dr. Ruth, could be seen giving the former president, 76, a playful tap on the face. The former president leaned in eagerly as it appeared the famous German-American sex therapist and talk show host was giving Clinton some advice.
Arizona Supreme Court Election Integrity
Wins over Soros Ballot Measure

Supporters for election integrity scored a major victory Friday when the Arizona Supreme Court held that Proposition 210 — a ballot initiative to undo Arizona’s new election integrity law, financed with George Soros’s money — cannot be on the November ballot due to a lack of valid signatures. Arizona is one of the states that, in the aftermath of the 2020 election, decided that statutory reforms were needed to make it easy to vote, but hard to cheat, to increase public confidence in the election result. Under the Arizona Constitution, laws passed by elected legislatures can be overridden by ballot initiatives.

Collusion between government and Big Tech goes deeper than Joe Biden’s incompetence. The FBI reportedly responded to the revelation it pressured Facebook to censor during the 2020 election by saying that the agency “routinely” works with social media companies to target “potential threat information.”The FBI “cannot ask, or direct, companies to take action on information received,” but does coordinate with “social media providers” to moderate content, according to an Aug. 26 FBI statement reported by Reclaim The Net.This revelation comes after multiple efforts by various arms of the Biden administration to increase censorship leading up to the 2022 midterms

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was in Pittsburgh last week campaigning for Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee for Pennsylvania governor. DeSantis is intelligent and articulate, but what makes him probably the most popular Republican governor in the country—and why he brought star appeal to the Keystone State—is that he fights, and wins, political battles for conservative principles. Earlier this year, the Walt Disney Company—one of the largest employers in Florida, and one of the most influential corporations in the world—opposed legislation sponsored by DeSantis that prohibited public school teachers from discussing sexual topics in kindergarten through the third grade. It was a strange position to take for a business that caters to

The conditions are right for confession. Meghan, relaxing in a cozy chair, gazes over all that is climate-controlled and high-ceilinged and sun-dappled and perfectly marshmallowy, and hers. An invisible hand has lit a Soho House–branded rose-water candle (the founder, Nick Jones, is a friend from “long before I met Harry,” she says), and that scent fills the air, mingling with the gentle tones of a flamenco-inflected guitar floating from a speaker. Then, in the lull in conversation, Meghan turns to me and leans forward to ask in a conspiratorial hush, “Do you want to know a secret?

The streets outside a bar in a small town in Texas became the scene of a heated confrontation between people protesting a ‘family-friendly’ drag show hosted by the establishment and defenders of the event, some of whom were armed. The protesters accused the bar of “grooming children” by exposing them to sexual content, as they gathered to protest the show last Sunday. But according to reports from the scene on social media, they were outnumbered by activists from the opposite camp, who dismissed the demonstrators as ‘bigots’ and ‘transphobes’.
